The quick releases were/are still used here in Canada for pulling back the 105 howitzers. I know I have at least one, and am pretty sure I have more. I also have some of the "rope, wire, 8 foot 10" shown on the photo.

The "jackall" ratchet device has been replaced with a regular chain comealong these days. The larger 155 guns use a hydraulic power pack to pull back the guns.
